Book6 Module 6 War and Peace Listening , Speaking and Vocabulary

Step I Revision Check the answers to the exercises in Vocabulary of WORKBOOK. And then ask some Ss to retell the passages. T: Now I will ask some of you to retell the passages. Who would like to have a try? S: Let me have a try. During the Second World War(1939-1945), Germany occupied many countries, including France. On the 6th June 1944, troops from the United States, Britain and Canada landed on the beaches of Normandy in France, known as the D-Day landings, to fight against Germany. The Operation Overland was the most important battle of the war in Europe. The operation was extremely dangerous and many soldiers were killed. But eventually, the D-Day landings was successful and this was the beginning of the end of the Second World War.

S: Early on the morning of 6 June 1944, the soldiers of Able Company crossed the English Channel. But during the process, they were fired by the Germans. Half an hour after the first attack, two thirds of the company had died, being killed by Germans or drowned in the water. The survivors left were exhausted and shocked. Six of them tried to climb up the cliff to get off the beach. But unfortunately, four were too exhausted to reach the top, so only two succeeded and then joined a group from another company and fought with them against Germans. S: On the 6th June 2004, survivors of the D-Day landings from different countries returned to France to remember their lost comrades. T: You have done a good job. Thank you.

T: Who would like to tell me the main idea of the passage? S: The passage tells us during the Second World War, German war planes attacked London using Blitz.

T: Right. Then what is Blitz? S: Blitz means lightning war, a sudden military attack. The Blitz specially refers to the bombing of British cities by German aircraft in 1940 and 1941. T: Good. In these attacks, many people were killed by bombs. To avoid being bombed, air raid shelters were set up. Staying in air raid shelters could decrease the amount of the deaths.
